I went on a strange safari today and didn’t see a single animal. The tour guide gave an odd speech and I couldn’t make sense of it. Can you? “What links the mammals on this tour? They’re all hidden! They can’t be seen - but listen and we’ll hear them. “It’s a bare bones tour but some of the things we’ll hear will make your hair stand on end. “I could talk about it until I’m hoarse, but people don’t want to listen to me wail on. I’ll shut up and eat this delicious mousse. Keep an ear out for those mammals.” 1st _ _ _ _ 2nd _ _ _ _ 3rd _ _ _ _ 4th _ _ _ _ _ 5th _ _ _ _ _ 6th _ _ _ _ _ Oh no - I think I heard one more creature! 2nd-1 3rd-2 1st-3 4th-4 5th-2 5th-5 6th-5

Which animals are present on this unusual wildlife walk? Solve the puzzle to find out, and comment if you get it!

I pluralised the prompt word for today’s puzzle, but it still totally counts, right?

This one might work for a future #dndpuzzle so I’ll have to store it up

This puzzle contains a graphical element which is not solvable in alt text. Cinderella wrinkled her nose at the trainee Godmother. ‘You’re goingto turn that rat into something? It’s all squashed. It barely even looks like a rat.’ ‘Yes, well, it’s the best I could do in the time,’said the Godmother. ‘Using my wand, I can turnit into something useful.’ ‘I’ve seen a mouse turned into a horse,’ said Cinderella. ‘But what can you make from that rat?’ RAT ‘Oh!’ said Cinderella. ‘That’s actually pretty useful after all.’

#enigmarch day 6: Turn

What’s this unconventional godmother creating for Cinderella? Find out by solving this short puzzle.

If you like puzzles and/or TTRPGs, give me a follow. (I’ve got an exciting everyone-has-amnesia oneshot in the works)

Comment 🐀 if you solve it!

This apartment is a trap! The pansies snap at you The antenna fires out a net The olives are plotting evil The parsnips are full of pins The strawberries give you warts And you’ll never guess what’s lurking in the custard ...or will you?

EnigMarch day 5: Trap

A short puzzle for the #enigmarch puzzle-a-day challenge.

I enjoy including short, fun puzzles in my D&D games, so this is a fun challenge. And I don’t even have to avoid real-world months, people and technology!

Comment 🍮 if you solve it

‘Off with their heads!’ cried the Queen of Hearts when she saw the three images below. But which character from the Alice in Wonderland stories is in danger next? [image of face with a scar circled] [image of an ape] [image of the enter/return key from a computer keyboard]

#enigmarch day 4: Heart

Another short word puzzle for the puzzle-a-day prompt challenge from EnigMarch. Today’s prompt is Heart so I’ve gone for a Queen of Hearts theme.

Comment ‘got it!’ below if you solve it, but please don’t mention the answer.

Stuck? DM for hints

This puzzle is unfortunately not solvable with alt text due to a visual element. The puzzle reads: if you’re really psychic, you’ll know which of these symbols I’m thinking of. Icons follow of a sun, duck, apple and crown. The word Psychic is in an elaborate script which forms an ambigram with the word Royalist

EnigMarch day 3: Psychic

Another short puzzle for #enigmarch - a month-long puzzle creation challenge.

This one is simple when you figure out the trick. (And will be much easier on phones and tablets than with a desktop screen!)

A card game that spans a river (6) An equitable carnival (4) Averagely cruel (4) Suddenly crouch to the level of waterfowl (4) A famous actor who twinkles at night (4) An illumination which doesn’t weigh much (5) A group of employees with a long wooden pole (5) STAFF

So excited to be commissioning the first illustrations for my #dnd5e amnesia adventure booklet this week.

Having amazing artists bring your characters and locations to life is such a thrill!

Love it!

Has anyone run the Discworld TTRPG using Modiphius’s quickstart PDF? Give me your tips! I’m running it next month. I’m used to GMing DnD and Blades usually #ttrpg #discworld #discworldttrpg #modiphius

I’m so excited about my everyone-has-amnesia one-shot adventure for D&D. Scratching off the scratchcard coating with the coin token is immensely satisfying. And it makes trying out your spells extra exciting!

If you want to play it at your own #dnd table, follow the project now on Kickstarter 💛

Five D&D character sheets with all the numbers covered with scratchcard coating lie on a table. Five coin tokens and some TTRPG dice are scattered over them.

Happy #selfpromotionsaturday to the #ttrpgcommunity ! I’ve made an Everyone-has-Amnesia short adventure for D&D where your character sheet has scratchcard coating over the stats.

Who the heck are you - and what are you good at? You’ll have to explore to find out. Kickstarting later this year!

Stone phones? State slates? Talkie-chalkies?

I love the resonant chime of the spinning coin striking the still ones in this slo-mo footage 💛

The beautiful brass coin tokens are from @rosdottir.bsky.social who has licensed the design for use in for my amnesia oneshot

#womenofttrpg #womenofdnd #dnd #oneshot #amnesiadnd #amnesiattrpg #ttrpg

Scratchcard character sheet prototypes ready for a D&D oneshot. All the PCs have amnesia, and they only find out what they’re good at when they try out a skill or fire off a spell. And they might just trigger a memory when they do so.

Search ‘amnesia’ on Kickstarter for prelaunch page

You can now follow our Amnesia oneshot adventure on Kickstarter so you’ll be notified when it goes live later this year. Head to Kickstarter and search for ‘Amnesia’ to find it, then click ‘Notify me on Launch’.

Don’t miss your chance to play D&D with scratchcard character sheets!

A oneshot where your character has amnesia and you get to uncover your stats under scratch-off coating? With zero player prep and a super easy-to-follow GM’s guide, this is the perfect 5e-compatible game to run when you want to treat your Forever DM to a night as a player

🎵 Popular! You’re gonna be pop-u-lar🎶 …or are you? You won’t know until you remove the scratchcard coating on your amnesiac adventurer’s character sheet in this fun new oneshot adventure for your D&D table!

Launching on Kickstarter in 2025

Ali holds up a postcard-sized flyer with info about her Amnesia oneshot game. The flyer mentions that there’s a free puzzle on the reverse

I’m hoping to hand out a bunch of these amnesia oneshot promo cards at #Dragonmeet on Saturday. If you get one, there’s a fun little puzzle on the back for you to use at your D&D (or other TTRPG) table

I’d highly recommend - it makes for an (ironically) v memorable game!

You can definitely make your own sheets by hand with some stickers and fiddly cutting out. This version will be for anyone who wants a plug and play option: sheets, satisfying adventure and memories to retrieve, all ready to go

Quantum Leap’s Dr Sam Beckett, played by Scott Bakula, says Oh Boy after leaping into a new persona

Playing in a great DnD campaign feels like being a main character in a beloved long-running ensemble TV series

I was trying to work out what that makes the amnesia one-shot I’m currently crafting, and I reckon it would be… a classic episode of Quantum Leap. Oh boy

Would that apply to UK-based makers?

I’ll be there running an all-the-PCs-have-amnesia game in the morning. Can’t wait!

Nice nice. Love it when the DM weaves your backstory into the campaign and this sounds like the ultimate version of that

Do they get to see their stats & modifiers on the character sheets or do you only tell them after they roll? *cackles in DM*

This this this. I’m currently putting together a whole oneshot kit where all the character sheets are blocked out with scratchcard coating and the main idea is for players to figure out who they are. So much storytelling drama potential

Murder mystery can be done. I ran a Discworld themed murder mystery one shot for my table and it worked beautifully. It’s a *lot* of prep and I agree the system isn’t set up for it BUT it’s achievable! Make sure there are at least 2 versions of each clue and don’t hide them behind skill checks

The text ‘What if your character sheet looked like this?’ is overlaid on a photo of character sheets on a table. All the stats and spells are hidden by golden scratch card coating

You sit at the #D&D table. Your DM hands you a character sheet and… all the stats are hidden. You’re only allowed to scratch them off when you try out that skill or fire off that spell. Can you figure out who you are and regain your missing memory? A one shot adventure like no other

I’ve heard good things about Wild Sheep Chase (D&D) for first time DMs. Good luck!

I ran a D&D Discworld oneshot for my table a few years ago. They were Watch guards with a murder mystery to solve. We had checks to dodge custard pies at the fool’s guild, stealthing into the UU to gather clues, a covert werewolf to track down… worked really well in the setting
